I've just been told to keep an eye on it and it's like almost definitely anxiety related... but at the same time its causing me to wheeze a lot and I cant take deep breaths. just want an inhaler is that so much to ask >:(

it's shit when you have anxiety because it's automatically assume that you have health anxiety too, or that your symptoms are physical manifestations of your anxiety. ask your gp to refer you to a pulmonologist/lung function department for lung function tests asap!

i haven't ever had a life-threatening attack but my aunt has, well and truly horrible :(

seriously, don't be hard on yourself. and don't do too much!

was your cold the trigger? worst time of year for asthma and allergies, i swear. it's not comparable, but i've been consistently breathless for about a month now. it's around this time of year that my gp usually puts me on high-dose antibiotics 'just in case' i end up with a bad infection.

I'm still in hosp but feel fine today. Just need to convince docs of the same. Daughter (and the boy for that matter) have taken it well. Have tried to not mske it sound too serious and tbf tp talk to me you wouldnt think it was.

It's been tougher on my wife but this things bring you closer together so between that and my excitement at making improvements in lifestyle and asthma management I feel pretty positive right now
thanks for all the kind words and i'll report when i'm out and using dis posting friendlier technology!
